First and foremost we are a brewpub, with a 110-seater restaurant and 2 well stocked bars. We are proud to be part of England’s micro-brewery boom and it is our mission to bring quality, craft ale to our home town. A totally independent company, owned by 2 friends and a team of 41 cheerful staff – we brew our award winning, super-duper ales, right here on the premises.

From New age hop-bombs to black as your hat, stouts and porters, our Brewers don’t miss a trick and are constantly tinkering to bring you another, thirst quenching and delicious ale.

We are very proud to say that we have been voted, for the 2nd year running, Best Pub in Southampton. And, thanks to our incredible Kitchen Team, you can find us in the Good Food Guide too.

Please have a mooch around our site for lots of interesting facts about our beers, our food, our history and our dog. Mr Watson.
